When it comes to cake, German Chocolate is my favorite. When Mike and I were married, he told me he did not like coconut so a German Chocolate Cake was something he would not eat. Now this is the cake as requests for his birthday each year! Give it a try, it may become one of your favorites as well!
German Chocolate Cake
from Lion House Dessert Cookbook
Cake:
1 pkg white or yellow cake mix
1 pkg (3 oz) instant chocolate pudding
1/4 cup flour
2 cups milk
3 egg whites, beaten stiff
* A cake mix already contains pudding mix may be used. Prepare according to package directions.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease and flour a 9x13 pan. Set aside. Combine cake mix, flour and milk and beat according to cake package directions. Fold in egg whites. Spoon into prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Frost with Coconut Pecan Frosting.
Coconut Pecan Frosting:
3 egg yolks
1 cup sugar
1 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup butter
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/3 cup flaked coconut
1 cup pecans, chopped
Combine yolks, sugar, milk, butter, and vanilla in a large saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened, about 12-15 minutes. Be careful to stir mixture constantly or it will burn. Add coconut and pecans. Stir until thick enough to spread. Makes 3 cups.
